Brainstem parasympathetic circuits that modulate digestive functions of the stomach are comprised of afferent vagal fibers, neurons of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), and the efferent fibers… (More)

1. To examine the effects of glucose on the central components of the vago-vagal reflex control of gastric function, we performed both in vivo and in vitro experiments on neurones in the medial… (More)

Opioid peptides produce gastrointestinal inhibition and increase feeding when applied to the brainstem. The present studies were designed to determine the actions of opioid peptides on synaptic… (More)

BACKGROUND
Sensory information from the viscera, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is transmitted through the afferent vagus via a glutamatergic synapse to neurons of the nucleus tractus… (More)
